Pedro Almodóvar has made some incredible films, but this is the first time we’re exploring his work on the Lambcast. January’s Movie of the Month is Talk To Her, a gripping and powerful story of two hospitalised women and the men who care for them.
Jay and Richard were joined by the film’s champion, Rebecca Sharp, as well as Jessica Manzo and a Lambcast newcomer, Marya Gates. Also on tap: Rants, Raves...
2018 is over, but can a year really be said to have ended until the Lambcast posts its best of that year podcast? Whether you say yes or no, the point is here’s that show.
Jay and Richard were joined by Audrey, Courtney and Nick to not only rank their top films of the year but also discuss the cinema vs streaming debate and give some tips and tricks on how best to fall asleep in the cinema. Also thanks to Le Anne, Vern,...
Happy New Year from the LAMB! To celebrate the occasion, here’s a shiny new bonus episode of the Lambcast, and what will hopefully be the start of an annual tradition. Mercilessly (and with consent) ripped off from the Title Pending Movie Podcast we’re proud to present the 2019 Box Office Draft, in which a bunch of Lambcast regulars from around the world (four continents, five countries, maybe seven time zones) gathered together...
Happy Holidays from the LAMB, and as a gift from us, here’s a show all about Mary Poppins Returns!

The further this tournament has gone, the closer the results have been, but this has gotten ridiculous. The final results, between Die Hard and The Muppet Christmas Carol, were separated by just five votes. Richard and Simon both campaigned heavily, and some other LAMB members got involved too across Twitter and Facebook (due to an emergency and a technical issue the final could not be posted on Instagram), but of course...
It was another close semi-final, this time between Home Alone and The Muppet Christmas Carol, but this time Kevin McCallister tried one trick too many, failing to impale Fozzie with a nail in the foot, hit Sam the Eagle in the face with a paint can, light the Swedish Chef’s hat on fire or cover Gonzo with glue and feathers (although something tells me he’d be into that). No, the Muppets took this one, so...
The winner of the Other group has been determined! White Christmas faced off against The Muppet Christmas Carol, and once again the Muppets reigned supreme. Here are the full results:
Final results:Congratulations to The Muppet Christmas Carol and Richard Kirkham, who join It’s A Wonderful Life, Die Hard and Home Alone in the semi-finals, which will...
You may have noticed on the LAMB site recently we’ve been trying to determine what is definitively the best Christmas movie, and the topic seems to have spilled over onto the Lambcast as well.
Jay and Richard were joined by Howard, Simon and Todd to tackle the daunting task of taking the list of all the Christmas movies ever made and narrowing it down to just one winner. Who won? Who got banished to the North Pole?...
From December 1st until Christmas Eve, here on the LAMB, we’ll be determining what is the BEST Christmas movie of all time. We’ve asked you all which films are the main contenders, and twenty-four of you replied with your choices, which will bauble battle it out for seasonal supremacy. It’s a head-to-head, single elimination tournament, so whichever film wins today moves onto the next round. However, here is not...
This was a bit of a slaughter, wasn’t it? A Christmas Carol‘s chances are certainly looking more grave than gravy, as Michael Caine and his muppety mates stocked up on votes like coal in Dickensian London. Here are the full results:
Final results:Congratulations to The Muppet Christmas Carol and Richard Kirkham from Kirkham A Movie A Day, who proceed to the quarter-finals, which...

A couple of weeks ago on the Lambcast we held a draft wherein the participants each built a team of the best 1960s movies, which you’ve been voting on. You can listen to the show here, it was a good one, and now it’s time to announce the winner. He, as usual, campaigned a little more than everyone else, but he also had a very solid team so I’m happy to announce that the draft winner is…...
